禄，爵禄也，当得势而享，乃谓之禄。自始分十干、十二支时，便以甲乙配同寅卯、居东；丙丁配同巳午，居南；庚辛配同申酉，居酉；壬癸配同亥子，居北。十干就支神为禄，谓禄随旺行，所以甲禄寅，乙禄卯，庚禄申，辛禄酉，壬禄亥，癸禄子，丙禄已，丁禄午，戊寄已，已寄午，谓已午乃火旺之乡，子随母得禄之义。内有辰戍丑未，辰戌为魁罡，名曰边鄙恶地，禄元不寄；丑未乃天乙贵人出入之门，禄元避之，所以四宫无禄。又曰四季有杂气，为禄不专，故不取。甲禄寅。如甲见丙寅，甲土克丙水为财，为福星禄；戊寅火土相生，为伏马禄，俱吉。庚寅谓之破禄，半吉半凶。壬寅谓之正禄，带截路空亡，必为僧道。甲寅谓之长生禄，大吉。
乙禄卯。见乙卯谓之喜神旺禄，主吉。丁卯为截路空亡，主凶。己卯，进神禄；辛卯，破禄，又为交神，半吉半凶。癸卯带太乙，死禄，虽贵终贫。

戊禄巳。见己巳，九天库禄，壬吉。，截路空亡。癸巳，贵神禄，戊癸化合，有官位重。乙巳，驿马同乡禄。丁巳，旺库禄，俱吉。
己禄午。见庚午，截路空亡。壬午，死鬼禄，俱凶。甲午，进神合禄，显达之象。丙午，喜神禄。戊午，伏神羊刃禄，凶。
庚禄申。见壬申，为大败禄。截路空亡禄，俱凶。丙申，大败禄，多成败。戊申，伏马禄，多滞，若值福星，贵吉。庚申，长生禄，大吉。
辛禄酉，见癸酉，伏神禄，水火相犯，凶。乙酉，破禄，成败。丁酉，空亡贵神禄，丁木受气，辛水沐浴，主奸淫事；值喜神，吉。己酉，进神禄。辛酉，正禄，俱吉。
壬禄亥，见丁亥，贵神合禄。乙亥，天德禄。己亥，旺禄；辛亥，同马乡禄，俱大吉。独癸亥，大败禄，贫薄。
癸禄子，见甲子，进神禄，主登科进达。丙子，交羊刃禄，带福星，贵有权。戊子，伏羊刃合贵禄，半吉。庚子，印禄，吉。壬子，正羊刃禄，凶。
有生成禄，甲乙人得甲寅、乙卯之类。
有名位禄，甲人见丙寅之类。
有真禄，甲人见丙或己，乙人见己或午之类，皆为贵格。
有进退真禄，戊辰见丁巳、戊午见丁巳，丙辰见癸巳、丙午见癸巳，癸亥见甲子、癸丑见甲子，壬戌见癸亥、壬子见癸亥，进则平易，退则艰难，更带福神，可作贵命，怕重见。
有禄值会合，甲禄寅而得庚戌之类。
有食神带禄，壬食甲而得甲寅，癸食乙而得乙卯，戊食庚而得庚申，己食辛而得辛酉，主吉。
有食神合禄，甲食丙得丙申、丙寅，乙食丁得丁未、丁卯，庚食壬得壬辰、壬子，辛食癸得癸巳、癸丑八位，俱主吉。
有禄头财，为缛煞，甲人见戊寅，乙人见乙卯之类，主人富有声望。
有禄头鬼，为赤口煞，甲人见庚寅，乙人见辛卯之类，主口舌刑责。有旬中禄，甲申见庚寅、戊午见丁巳之类，主清华要职。
有天禄贵神，如丁人禄在午，遁至午上得丙字，而丙贵在酉亥，得辛酉、辛亥则辛贵，复见于午之类，入格极品。
有干支合禄，如甲禄寅，得甲寅，己亥，乙禄卯，得乙卯、庚戌之类，主官职崇重。

有朝元夹合，如癸巳见戊辰、戊午，两戊与癸合夹巳，戊禄巳之类，主封爵。
有禄入禄堂，《理愚歌》云：“禄入禄堂须大拜”，李虚中以甲人得甲戌，以甲为岁干，则甲之本位遁至戌，谓之禄堂。辛壬有二位，辛有辛卯、辛丑，壬有壬寅、壬子，五行无克，诸位相助，发福必大。
古人云：禄前二辰为背，禄后二辰为向。沈芝取建、向、近、合四字为贵，建不如向，近不如合，四字中得两字者，为贵。如甲禄寅，以寅为建，丑为向，卯为近，亥为合，余准此。余皆一位忌三合六合上见刑见鬼，以甲戌言，鬼在丑上，则可畏，以丑刑戌；在未则不忌，以戌刑未。以乙酉言，鬼在巳上为害，以三合相会在辰则减福，以六合相亲。
夫建禄者，主人肌厚气实，体格不清，一生安逸足财，利生旺；自然死绝则气浊神慢，孳孳为生，吝啬猥鄙。与元辰并，因樗蒲得财，复因此败。与官符并，因官门得财，或多争讼。与劫煞并，好贱技小商，不义横财。与天中并，多遗失破财。与禄鬼倒食并，多因赊贷牙侩得财，至死不通，惟财是念之人。
又曰：库者，禄之聚，如甲乙在未，丙丁在戌，戊己壬癸在辰，庚辛在丑。如甲乙亥多而得未，乃禄厚丰足之人。合者，禄之横，如甲禄寅而得亥，谓之明合；无寅得亥，谓之暗合，虽非见禄，亦曰见禄，多主傥来之福。拱者，禄之尊，如甲禄居寅，不见寅而见丑，卯在两傍，谓之虚拱；如申人见寅又见丑，卯在两傍拱之，谓之实拱，然拱实不若拱虚，主大富贵。
凡人命带禄，或吉或凶，或贵或贱，未可全靠便为吉论。《天乙妙旨》云：“君不见，禄马贵人无准托，考究五行之恶，天元羸弱未为灾，地气坚牢足欢乐。”《源髓歌》云：“禄马更有多般说，自衰自死兼败绝，若无吉煞加助时，定知破祖多浮劣。”可见先论五行，后看禄马，五行要生旺，禄马怕衰绝。司马季主云：禄多马少，使主神劳；禄少马多，能操善负。
Lu symbolizes rank and official salary, representing blessings enjoyed due to favorable timing and geographic advantages. When the ten Heavenly Stems are paired with the twelve Earthly Branches: Jia and Yi (Wood) pair with Yin and Mao, residing in the East 🔥; Bing and Ding (Fire) pair with Si and Wu, residing in the South 🔥; Geng and Xin (Metal) pair with Shen and You, residing in the West ⛰; Ren and Gui (Water) pair with Hai and Zi, residing in the North 🌊. The Lu position is determined by the flourishing energy of the Five Elements: Jia's Lu is in Yin, Yi's Lu is in Mao, Geng's Lu is in Shen, Xin's Lu is in You, Ren's Lu is in Hai, Gui's Lu is in Zi, Bing's Lu is in Si, Ding's Lu is in Wu. Wu and Ji (Earth) are attached to the places where Fire flourishes (Wu attaches to Si, Ji attaches to Wu), following the concept of "the child follows the mother to obtain Lu." Among the four Earth branches Chen, Xu, Chou, Wei, Chen and Xu are considered the malevolent lands of Kuigang (the fierce stars) 🌑, while Chou and Wei are gateways for noble people 🚪. The Lu essence does not reside in these four palaces because the Earth of the four seasons contains mixed qi, making the Lu position non-exclusive.
Jia Lu in Yin
Yi Lu in Mao
(The auspicious/inauspicious nature of Lu positions for other stems follows the original text and is omitted here for brevity.)
| Lu Position Type | Modern Mapping |
|---|---|
| Longevity Lu 🌱 | Sustainable growth-oriented fields |
| Fortune Star Lu 🌟 | Resource and network-rich areas |
| Traveling Horse Lu 🚗 | Cross-border/mobile professions |
Lu Position Auspicious/Inauspicious → Verify Five Elements Generation/Overcoming (e.g., Jia Lu Yin encounters Fire → Wood generates Fire, representing drainage) → Check Deities/Sha (Kongwang/Clashes/Conflicts) → Formulate Action Plan
"Lu fears decline and exhaustion" reveals that resources depend on an energy system: even if occupying an advantageous position (Lu), if one's own energy is insufficient (Five Elements in decline), it can become a burden instead. This echoes the modern principle of "matching ability with position."
Original Text: Jia encounters Bing Yin

💎 Key Conclusions Refined:
Lu Position User Manual
- Find your own Day Stem's Lu position (e.g., Jia → Yin).
- Observe the Earthly Branch combination (e.g., Yin encounters Fire → Auspicious; encounters Metal → Half Inauspicious).
- Inspect for Deities/Sha (Kongwang / Yang Ren / Noble Person).
- Return to the Five Elements foundation — a strong self can bear Lu, a weak self invites disaster instead ⛔.
